many clips or instruments within the Live Set are using that sample. Here is what you can
do:
Replace a sample  Dragging a sample from the File Browser and dropping it on a
line in the list makes the Live Set reference the new sample instead of the old one. For
samples used in audio clips, Live retains the clip properties; the Warp Markers are kept
if the new sample has the same or a greater length as the old sample and discarded
otherwise. Please note that replacing a sample will change all clips in your set that
reference this sample.
Every Line in the Sample
Reference List is a Drop
Target for Samples.
Hot-swap samples  Using the Hot-Swap button at the left-hand side of each line,
you can quickly browse through alternatives for the sample that is currently being
referenced. This is like dragging samples here, only quicker.
The Sample Reference
List's Hot-Swap Button.
Edit a referenced sample  using an external application (which can be chosen in the
Preferences' File/Folder tab). Clicking the Edit button will open the referenced sample
in the external application. The sample will remain ofine as long as the Edit switch is
engaged. For samples used in audio clips, the current set of Warp Markers is retained
only if the sample length remains the same as before.

List's Edit Switch.
View a sample's location  The Location column states if a sample is missing, or if it
resides in the Live Library, a Project or somewhere else (external).
